提防财色横逆之烦恼
[104] Guard Against Afflictions [Of] Wealth, Sex [And] Violent Opposition
在凡夫地，谁无烦恼？须于平时预先提防，自然遇境逢缘，不至卒发。纵发亦能顿起觉照，令其消灭。
On ordinary beings’ ground, who [is] without afflictions? [There] must [be, in] ordinary times, in advance guarding against [them, then] naturally, [when] meeting situations [and] encountering conditions, not going so far [to have them] suddenly flare up. Even if flaring up, also able [to] immediately give rise [to] awareness [that] illuminates, [to] enable them [to be] eliminated.
起烦恼境，不一而足。举其甚者，唯财、色与横逆数端而已。
Giving rise [to] afflictions’ situations, [they are] not one but abundant. Raising those extreme, [they] are then wealth, sex and violent opposition, [these] few ends only.
若知无义之财，害甚毒蛇，则无临财苟得之烦恼。
If knowing that immoral wealth, [is with] harm extreme [like a] poisonous snake, then without afflictions of facing wealth illicitly gotten.
与人方便，究竟总归自己前程，则无穷急患难求救，由惜财而不肯之烦恼。
[Knowing] giving people convenience, in the end all returns [to] one’s personal future journey, then without afflictions of [facing the] poor [and] pressed [with] suffering [and] difficulties seeking help, due [to] cherishing wealth, then not willing [to give].
色则纵对如花如玉之貌，常存若姊若妹之心。纵是娼妓，亦作是想，生怜悯心，生度脱心，则无见美色而动欲之烦恼。
[Seeing] forms then, even if facing those [with] appearances like flowers [and] like jade, constantly retain [the] mind of [them being] like elder sisters or younger sisters. Even if [they] are prostitutes, also have this thought, [to] give rise [to] sympathy’s mind, [and] give rise [to] deliverance [for] liberation’s mind, then without afflictions of seeing beautiful forms, then [being] moved [by] desires.
夫妇相敬如宾，视妻室为相济继祖之恩人，不敢当作彼此行乐之欲具，则无徇欲灭身，及妻不能育，子不成立之烦恼。
Husbands [and] wives [should] respect each other like guests, seeing [the] wife [to] be that benefactor, aiding each other [to] succeed ancestors, not daring [to] regard each other as desires’ instruments [for] indulging [in] pleasures, then without afflictions of giving in [to] desires [which] eliminate [the] body, and [the] wife not able [to] give birth, [and] children not [able to be] mature [and] independent.
子女从小教训，则无忤逆亲心，败坏门风之烦恼。
Sons [and] daughters [should be] from young taught, [to] then [be] without afflictions of [the] mind [with] disobedience opposing parents, that ruins family principles.
至于横逆一端，须生怜悯心，悯彼无知，不与计校。又作自己前生曾恼害过彼，今因此故，遂还一宿债，生欢喜心，则无横逆报复之烦恼。
As for [those with] violent opposition, [this] one end, [there] must [be] giving rise [of] sympathy’s mind, sympathising [with their] ignorance, not with [them being] calculative. Also regarding oneself [in] past lives as [having with] hatred harmed them, now [for] this reason thus, thereupon returning one past debt, giving rise [to the] joyful mind, then without afflictions of violent opposition [and] retaliation.
然上来所说，乃俯顺初机。若久修大士，能了我空，则无尽烦恼，悉化为大光明藏。
However, those above said, thus comply [with] beginners. If [as] long cultivating Great Bodhisattvas, able [to] realise self’s emptiness, then [will] inexhaustible afflictions, all transform [to] be great bright light’s treasury.
